Genomic signatures of evolutionary transitions from solitary to group living
The evolution of eusociality is one of the major transitions in evolution, but the underlying
genomic changes are unknown. We compared the genomes of 10 bee species that vary in …

The molecular and mathematical basis of Waddington's epigenetic landscape: A framework for post‐Darwinian biology?
S Huang - Bioessays, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Neo‐Darwinian concept of natural selection is plausible when one assumes a
straightforward causation of phenotype by genotype. However, such simple 1: 1 mapping …
